bjork joga live in cambridge

[anlum16]

I love how Björk and the other musicians seem to mesh so well... Their exchange of glances, their expressions... If magic exists, this is it.

[MrBarazal]

o que e bjork? pra mim e um ser magico que vive em todas as dimensões ,e sabe sentir o prazer em coisas simples e canta o que ve e o que acredita,consegue levar as almas mais sensiveis pra lugares lindos com suas canções,bjork na realidade não tem desrição pois uda como as estações mais sempre é essencial e magica.bjork você é uma grande sabia mesmo sem a conhecer eu sinto isso e posso entende-la.

[sequinsdiamonds]

This song is so beautiful.

[vargaso]

High art. Literally. Hugely emotional and the highest possible level of artistry in songwriting/arranging and performance. She's one of a kind.

[Mansun1]

i was at this gig in 1998 and it's in my all time top 5 gigs ever (and I've been to 100's). She nailed this song and her reaction at the end confirms she knows it. There is an official DVD which came out in 2001 of the whole gig which I was so happy to find a copy of in HMV St Albans. Thank you.

[lhasalil]

Does anyone know if there is a recording of this or a version of it on any available CD? I'm desperate to have it ......

[xochil5fluer]

fucking flawless *O*

[MrGaidzak]

I am coming here everyday, just to have this blast of bjork! Perfection Exists!!!!

[everythingevil76]

Oh my god, she is freaking amazing!

[bobsaget199]

she is so goddamned perfect. she is so fucking perfect she is so fucking

[mrpelon1000]

2011 and still amazing......none of these so called women artist aint got nothing on here.....beautiful..when she smiled..OMG

[MaiaGlor]

Gave me chills..

[doxliesobachki]

absolutely awesome!!!

[6e4a6]

gives me chills and swells my soul

[silenteyesspy]

This is called singing right here, not this autotuned over prossessed crap out now. GO BJORK!!

[DemonoAngell]

I like metal and Bjork <3 shes just magical...out of this world

[razrv3lc]

3:56 . the climbing up when she said emergency is pitch perfect, and the vibrato at the end of the word when she got to the last note of the word was perfect. That was the worst description i've ever given anything.

[jamfabulous]

3:39

I'm speechless

[stoopid79]

@bobsagart

Me too, genuinely touching. Thought I'd miss the beats too.

[TheSanny32]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡wooooooooooooow! me recorre la sangre haciendola vibrar :)

[Schlickfreter]

Ich verneige mich vor einer der besten Musikerinnen die ich in meinem Leben, leider wohl niemals live, erleben durfte. Sie hat so viel Gefühl, mein Herz ist bei Ihr!

Danke Bjork

[ongakubcn]

Sublime...the Goddess...

[SavethexQueen]

Her hired musician's seem to really enjoy her music. Which is rare.

[SavethexQueen]

I wish I was there. More than anything.

[zcoston]

Wow, I'm speechless

[realmofchaos100]

one of the greatest live performances i have ever seen

[rednldance]

her voice is always perfect....sound likes the album basically....so good!!

[bobsaget199]

i love the smiles on bjork and the violinists' faces right before floors everyone in the room. you can even see people wiping away tears in the crowd! gaahhhh

[oldedrum]

Nice version. A little slower than the record but I appreciate the variable.

...Bjork was like 'yeah!' at the end! :0)

[kenjuecleo]

Oh my goodness!

[WillimDeCodDd]

WOooow

HEr Make-up is to similar PEter GAbriel´s make up

GROovi :D

[seby13700]

she do a mistake at the first chorus but this song stay the best ever of bjork

amazing

[villetor]

@seby13700 She can't make a mistake in her own song, can she? She interprets the song the way she wants to. =)

[oldnavyrum]

The most beautiful version of Joga I've ever heard! Imagine BEING THERE, damn those people were lucky

[willllgreen]

It is better to support the course, free of labels and to keep on being free and happy. I love you china girl

[MoonlightShadowlolz]

...china girl? I hope you don't mean Björk

[willllgreen]

This is the nickname with which she was known by his relatives in his youth; I believe that she will always be young...

[tweethang1]

@willllgreen Bjork is Icelandic! She is from Iceland silly head =P

[willllgreen]

Oh illustrated philosopher of the web: Well it is known that the water wets!

There should exist in the people some interest to cultivate the mind, before articulating the first stupid ideas that his ignorant head produces.

[willllgreen]

China Girl, for the understood ones, is the nickname with which björk Gudsmundottir was known by his relatives in his infancy or youth.

I have dedicated enough time to her, to dare to investigate and handle the concrete ideas that me take a fancy, when I wish it..., otherwise bla, bla, bla.

[ongakubcn]

Just fucking sublime...she is probably the only "pop" musician of our time who truly deserves to be called "an artist"

[Luke19Wales]

@ongakubcn i agree but i think kate bush deserves to be known as an artist too ^_^ kate & Bjork are the best.

[nhi112]

merci

[MzKickz]

"you don't have to speak I feel emotionallllllllllllllllllllll­llllllllllllllllllll"

[cecillbill]

superb performance of this song...the best one yet!

[saladlegs]

bjork's greatest song! really like this version more than the studio one

[screwface1011]

this is the most beautiful song I ever heard

[sandyman714]

Please disable ratings. Doesn't apply here.

[54spiritedwill54]

This performance is like a cure for depression

[alissoum]

so true.

[xBABAtikiDIDOx]

wow this has to be her best and most emotional performance ever. makes me cry every time. Bjork is amazing and so beautiful.

[ZennLa13]

hmm im not sure i like how she is drawign out the notes

[Tai7978]

Does she say "Fuck!" at the very end? I know I sure did. This woman is amazing.

[SapereRisin]

I second that

[lhasalil]

This is my all time greatest love song ever - simply beautiful. I have to say that the live version beats hands down any recorded one i've come across so far - absolutely sublime.

[Superhelter]

best artist ever... Period.

[antnybeard]

haunting, beautiful.

[DanteSephiroth]

If God ever wanted a wife, bjork would be it.

[TheodoreAngelos]

Originally God (named Yahweh) had a wife and her name was Asherah. But she fell out of favour and was banished from the Temple. In the Bible, we in fact have a mention of Gods wife about 48 times, but she has come to be a little bit obscured, probably deliberately, when monotheism truly did develop, and God was made to look like a bachelor, even though he was officially made a widower.

(Dr Diana Edelman, University of Sheffield)

[kejtlovesade]

cute dress, cute Bjork, best song...

[KingOfKool182]

amazing singer. real versatile

[viniciusb1]

wow, it seems that the end was improvised. and it was very very good.

[Eskarolilla2]

No me canso de escucharla

[tolin104]

so touching it makes me cry.

[Eskarolilla2]

Esqisita....sublime

[silverdale247]

Que arte tiene la Bjork!!

Olé!!!!!

[charleswesterman]

i ran up and she sang to me.

[TheOpiumDistrict]

One of the better vocal performances we will ever see. Glad I saw it!

[EVHisgodyoumuppet]

this one is particularly excellent.

but find a bad bjork song and i'll eat my hat.

[orangejuicedisco]

wow this made cry

[superbikingmaniac]

I may be noted as a rough, tough kind of guy...But Beautiful Bjork does me in every time.

Two thumbs wayyyyy up!!!!

[upsidedowngiraffe]

6 star rating!? mind blowing

[cacatesaco]

the best

[thisispin]

there was a magical moment right at 3:44 and on!!

i like this version of joga

[boobookittyfark]

well, sanity is overrated.

i heart Björk and this is my favorite song of all times!

[Kafkalist]

This performance is like a cure for depression, whenever i'm in a bad mood I watch this and am instantly cheered up, Awesome, Awesome stuff

[bronzechimera]

i love her for many years. i cannot fathom my life without her music. it would have been a much different line of fate.

she is my serendepitic serenity

[kitten939]

omg its just so.. magical. She's a genius.

[albicha]

I've read somewhere, the 4:13 goes like "alt sem hann sér", which translates as "everything he sees"... This bit of sound seems to be pretty recurring in icelandic songs, and Björk seems to use it in other songs as weel, such as "Aurora"...

[hyacinthnights]

@albicha I was always wondering what that part meant... cuz like you said I've heard it in her other songs just at like different tempos and stuff....

[barano15]

just perfect

[neapplepi]

Mamma mia!More than beautiful.I love Bjork.

[sakii18]

she sounds EXACTLY the same wen shes live

that is very rare

god, bjork is just so, indescribable

[RuedigaSocke]

no, better, much better! :)

[tlatito]

absolutely

[godswiph]

wow... i've never seen her sing live... she's the real deal.

[3163725610]

her performance in my city bogota was amazing and commented like the best concert of the year. she's the best pop singer, madonna, britney, shakira, christina and all those bitches got a lot to learn from her.

[Sandalhat1]

Pop? errr, no. I don't get it, a lot of people have put her name next to the ones in the above post and honestly its not even the same world. Bjork is innovative and genuine, the others are cookie-cutter pop artist blondes who probably dont even write their own music.

[annreneen]

amen sista!! bjork is so unlike everyone else, she hasn't got caught up in all the crap like pop singers have, why do you think she has lasted so long and is still putting out things! she is truly amazing

[CordBB]

she is so unfuckingbelievable ugly...

[FatFerris]

So's your mum.

[jaemoon2]

yeah. so's your mum.

[CordBB]

yea, very clever...

[jaemoon2]

unlike you, coz you said bjork was ugly. (ooooohhhhh)

[villetor]

@CordBB She is so unfuckingbelievably beautiful, gorgeus, original, modest, humble, spectacular, innovative, inspirative, genuine... the list goes on and on. If you call her ugly, there must be something seriously wrong with you. :-)

[geodude501]

absolutely beautiful....i saw her in plymouth and it was an incredible experience

[Superhelter]

this is the best version

[jaemoon2]

Forget every song in the world.

Hunter + Jóga + Unravel + Bachelorette + All Neon Like + 5 Years + Immature + Alarm Call + Pluto + All Is Full Of Love (1999 version) = the greatest experience you will ever have.

Jóga is by far the greatest song on the planet. This version is incredibly beautiful, 99% because of the falsetto vibrato at 4:02.

Thankyou, Björk.

[Disharmony]

where's the bass?

[kimandcandy99]

Simply amazing and beautiful-makes me happy to see this song live on youtube for everyone to enjoy-an amazing and wonderful artist and person

[ezdeban]

I get goosebumps watching this performance, just stunning.

[calabasza]

simply celestial!!

[kopedl]

a deity....

[jen0989]

This is beautiful and her dress is excellent.

[i2dermuzik]

3:58 she does her own little violin solo!

[Naglfar6666]

She is soo sexy and her music makes me cry because its so beautiful, BJÖRK FOR THE WIN !!!! <3

[johnalexandermatsos]

dude, she's saying EMERGENCY but swapping the syllables!

NCY-EMERGE!!!!

[Sanitych3ck]

If only we could get the whole world to listen.

[Lintu1988]

I love that she has such a unique voice- definitely my favourite of her songs.

[pmyeongsuk]

이클립은 매우 무당 같지는 않네...

[gugushigushi]

Don't write like this sentence in Korean!

[MonsMichael]

a ja bede pisal po polsku bo tak mi sie podoba. nasist!!

[CordBB]

nazis raus!

antifa power :D

[albicha]

Now that I came to think of it, at 4:13, lots of people wondered what was she saying... some believe it to be gibberish, but I've heard "Aurora" from her and it's very similar indeed... If it's the same, than the riddle got solved: she's saying "Utter mundane"...

[RuedigaSocke]

its"al se mon shere" its icelandic and it means: cif he saw

[ChoiChrisLi]

its actually alt sem hann sér, which means all that he sees or everything that he sees

[RuedigaSocke]

oh, thank ou

[doubleup123]

what a truly possitive thing too say ,tagucilalpa  nice one.

[frankherman3]

despite the lack of a de-esser...

This performance is compelling, she is made from pure talent.... WOW

[maskuk]

this is the best performance of joga

[tagucilalpa]

How can she be so wonderful? She is truly a living miracle! She should live forever.She is one of the greatest singers of all time!

[MissAnnThrope666]

Yeah! I absolutely agree

She must be Earth's favorite creature :D

She made me cry when I saw her live...

she's amazing

[arcannobi]

My favorite singer ever... Plus I love her lyrics!

[sizovayulia]

она фантастическая!!!

[synchronicize]

finally i've heard something that has made me cry out of happiness as much as out of pain...

[artistthatneverwas]

how i would love to hear this in person!!

[hiphopelitist]

at 3:45 you can see the two female voilin players softly smile and I think it is because of how amazing bjork is.

[maskuk]

yeah!

[Statues03]

nahhh... it's just morphine.

[rocktunes]

Brilliant! The best ever. Love, love, love! Thanks Bjork for your talent and beauty!

[BrooklynZBoyz]

I saw her a little while ago in detriot. the performance litteraly gave me goosebumps.

[albicha]

I love the very last frame of this scene, when she's finished singing, we can actually see her going like "Wow, I did!" and then she punches the air with her right fist, hahah! Gotta love this goddess!

[steelhead254]

* tear *

[ftralala]

How beautiful to heaaaaaaar

[casad0]

das maiores cantoras de todos os milenios

[nereebitchy]

Such a wonderful voice. I wish I can sing the way she does

[serafinalightwing]

wow this was really nice it is slower and calmer its very beautiful. Bjork rocks loved her dress.

[Mokurentate]

Beautiful.

[inga620]

oh. my. god. there is nothing else to say.

i love bjork.

[TryingElaine]

its magical

[soer3486]

just love this song!

[mousebiscuit]

Whoever first said that music was one of the "lower arts" apparently was one too many centuries shy of Bjork.

[akmalazizan]

love it

[feyth85]

Could someone tell me what she's singing in 4:13? She does that line more often... and I have no idea what she says or what it means.

Wonderful performance, by the way. I love this song.

[wbarco]

it's gibberish

[albicha]

I'd also like to know what she's saying, it sounds loosely like "I'm still with you..." but I'm pretty sure it's not exactly that... I'd guess it's something in icelandish...

[Guk1981]

spyinonbrain..i'm agrre with ya..this video is extremely emotive. and yeah!, there near the 4:00 the song becomes so smooth, light, delicate...uf, just a few musicians have that sense of beautiful. bjork is one of that, she's so lovely, full of love...love her music...

[xxlouiisxx]

Björk ürm ilnika ëë al braümm karöng čin karvatë !

[kukis222]

adoro esta cancion

love bjork¡¡¡¡¡

[inahiddenplace]

this is the best joga performance ever simply awesome

[cheko14]

great performence love

[BCJmacandcheese]

This is definitely my favorite dress she's ever worn. The sleeves are soo cool. But not my favorite performance of the song. Felt a little slow...

[SpyinOnBrian]

i loved the slow, loving feeling in this performance.

its my favorite performance of joga.

i watch this video just to lsiten to it like this, it literally makes me want to cry

expecially when it gets a little before 4:00 minutes.

so beautiful

[rj12345679]

yeah, i wish i was sindri

[musichuqui]

Me pone la piel de gallina solo escuchar esta cancion

[elvis1bcxzone]

This video forced me to decide to go for her show in Gdynia (06/29)

[Rarda8]

I love this song. It stings my eyes and sends shivers down my spine.

[NoivadeMolko]

i wish bjork was my love );~

[gpeddino]

Simply UNBELIEVABLE.

[TheKarmaPolice113]

i had goosebumps from 3:39 to the end. incredible performance!

[Chaosrunsthrume]

i wish bjork was my mom

[weesamin]

hahahaha haha best comment ever

[oldnavyrum]

good god, that was beyond perfect

[Rahhhhhnman]

"One of the earlier DVD releases was recorded in Cambridge, 2nd December 1998, featuring The Icelandic String Octet, and Mark Bell (LFO), a very close concert, balancing the abstract electronics by Mark Bell, the strings from the octet with her beautiful voice."

Perfect.

[dwalkmusick]

This was a filmed-in-studio date, not a concert date?

Was this why the audience seems a bit, well, shy...?

Anyroad, this song is wickedcool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sahmeran]

In my Opinion The Best Song that she did!

[craigisageek]

That was so moving, utter brilliance..

[shadowoftheday]

Close to perfection. We don't have to speak about Björk's music, we feel it! At 3.47, we reach the musical orgasm!
